Robens Tacoma daypack
25L £21.99
Tacoma's body-hugging shape was comfortable to wear over all sorts of walking terrain and the rigid curved spine kept my back dry. The outer material and general build are sturdy as are all straps and buckles. Downsides? Limited capacity for a water bladder and an awkward internal space, should you need to carry boxy items. I do wonder if there's a need at all for the contour spine on small packs.
The shoulder straps were comfortable for me, but I wonder how a large-framed person would find them as the padding only extends for the first six inches. But that's nitpicking on what is a fantastic product overall.
